Explanation

I have been suffering with a chronic cough for a number of years now and was referred by my GP to see a specialist respiratory doctor. When I met Dr Seevaratnam he was very patient and understanding and listened to everything I had to say. I have seen many doctors, but Dr Seevaratnam went above and beyond trying to help diagnosis and cure my cough. He conducted tests and called me multiple times to check up on me. The best doctor I have seen. He showed great care and really wanted to help me diagnose my cough.
